"Piett, you fool!" Admiral Versio seethed under his breath, observing scornfully as the once mighty ship burst into a great inferno. His lips thinned as the remains of the most deadly fleet of the empire crumbled into a state of disorder as they had lost their leader. Not wanting to witness the disgraceful fall of the Empire any longer, Versio exited the bridge. There was much to be done. Strategies and war plans to iron out.
The emperor may fall this day but the empire will persevere, especially so if he had anything to say about it.
Little did he know, that across the very boarders of imperial territory. Deep within what was thought to be uncharted star space, hid a powerful faction of the empire, never before seen in nearly three decades. Amassing its vast forces in preparation to reestablish the empire's hold over the galaxy before the rebel alliance wrenched it from them.
Neither side would know what had hit them before it was far too late.
